A man who challenged police reversing the wrong way up a one-way street - to visit a chippie - was thrown in a cell and threatened with trumped-up charges.

Andrew Carter, 44, was told ‘F*** off, this is police business’ when he protested about the officers breaking traffic laws.

When he photographed the police van outside a Bristol fish and chip shop, PC Aqil Farooq told him he was under arrest for assault, resisting arrest and being drunk and disorderly.

See also this, where I actually felt some sympathy for the police. They were obviously in a bad mood, but probably at least as much at the people who made them do this as at the man they were doing it to.
